Witch Special

The battle between the coalition forces and the terrifying monsters went smoothly. After all, these monsters were afraid of fire. As long as they weren't fighting in a harsh environment like a subway tunnel, these unintelligent monsters, even if they looked terrifying and had formidable abilities and physical prowess, were still no match for the coalition forces capable of waging a small-scale war.

Leading the charge, elite members of the Adventurer's Alliance and the Violent Hunting Squad broke through the monster blockade at the subway station and its entrance. Immediately afterwards, sharpshooters from the heavens began to flood the area with explosives and flammable materials. Flamethrowers and incendiary bombs hurled themselves at the area, practically igniting the air. The monsters, terrified by the intense heat and glare of the flames, retreated deeper into the ruins.

Because of the large number of monsters gathering, the density of monsters in the depths of the town became extremely high. At this time, the magician group from the coalition began to chant war magic. A flaming pumpkin with a diameter far larger than any pumpkin Lin Zhenxi had ever seen before took shape above the heads of the magician group, tilted at 45 degrees and smashed down at the group of monsters that were surrounded by the flames in a very small area.

Accompanied by a huge explosion and shock wave, a small mushroom cloud rose from the ground. The monsters within dozens of meters of the landing point of the giant flaming pumpkin were instantly blown to pieces. The coalition forces more than a hundred meters away had to raise magic shields to withstand the oncoming heat waves and wind pressure, otherwise someone would definitely be blown away.

Just looking at the power of the explosion, I guess some people would believe it was a small tactical nuclear bomb.

The exploding fireball consumed all the oxygen in the surrounding area, forcing the coalition forces to wait for thirty minutes for air to flow back and refill the area. Then, the magicians used large-scale frost magic to cool the ground again, allowing the coalition forces to continue their advance.

Because the Legion magic had already annihilated a large number of the monsters, the few remaining small creatures couldn't even reach the allied shield warriors before being directly dispatched by the skilled guerrillas of the Adventurer's Alliance and the Violent Pursuit Group. Knowing that the monsters could only be completely killed by chopping off their heads, they weren't that difficult to deal with. After all, compared to the enemies they had faced before, these monsters were merely stronger beasts.

In this way, the coalition forces finally advanced to the church where Lin Zhenxi had discovered the woman's coffin. Princess Isabella made the same decision as Lin Zhenxi. To prevent the most difficult enemy from hiding inside and launching a sneak attack, the coalition forces directly blew open the church door, and then the coalition mechanics released walking robots to explore the way in.

A boxy robot, with a loudspeaker and rotating warning lights on its head, rolled into the church on wheels and released a suspended flare, illuminating the entire building. Through the camera of the mechanical assistant flying robot, the coalition leaders saw a coffin placed in the center of the church, and next to it, a demon man wearing a high-necked windbreaker and very long hair.

The demonic being clearly disliked being illuminated by the light. With a simple wave of his hand, he summoned a circular, blood-red blade, shattering the flare in mid-air. Then, without a word, he attacked the robot. Another flash of bloody light appeared, and the square, comical-looking robot was cut in two, the cut smooth as if it had been polished.

A tough enemy.

It was obvious that this was a tough enemy, but it didn't pose a big threat to the coalition forces. Seeing that the church wasn't filled with monsters, but only with a single male magician from the Demon Realm, the coalition forces began to demolish the building with confidence.

Nonsense, the church is so narrow. The biggest advantage of the coalition forces now is their large numbers. Of course, they have to expand the battlefield and then besiege the enemy.

What's more, each of the sharpshooters in heaven carries countless explosives with them. They are definitely good at demolition and their efficiency is even higher than that of the magicians from the continent of Arad.

After a simple arrangement, the coalition forces carried out a targeted explosion in the church, and all the load-bearing structures were destroyed. The already old building collapsed instantly, crushing the male magician and the coffin he was guarding.

Of course, it was unrealistic to kill an enemy that was clearly a boss so easily. In the blink of an eye, a strong surge of magical energy emanated from beneath the ruins, and a blood-red sphere arched out from below. Upon emerging, it exploded, blowing away the rubble above it and revealing the male magician and the coffin he was protecting.

But at this time, there was no church as a venue restriction. The sharpshooters in the coalition forces directly rained bullets on the enemy. All kinds of howitzers, laser cannons, cluster bombs and thunder walkers were all fired at them. The male magician was no match for four hands with two fists. He was hit countless times in an instant. With a thermobaric grenade exploding at his feet, his body flew up like a rag and fell heavily to the ground.

Erica, in high spirits, took two steps at a time and came to the enemy who seemed to have been stunned. The spear in her hand drew an arc, and the blade cut through the male magician's neck, chopping off the enemy's head.

The male magician's body, which was healing rapidly, stopped suddenly. His head, which was stabbed away by Erica's spear, let out a wail, and then his head and body turned into burnt ashes and floated in the air.

Even the last enemy was slain, and the battlefield fell silent. While some monsters might still linger in the surrounding ruins, they were no longer a threat. The mechanics released some mechanical assistants, tasked with autonomously searching the ruins for any signs of monsters, reporting back any findings.

The flying height of the things these celestial sharpshooters built wasn't very high, probably only about ten meters off the ground at most. I don't know why they were designed that way. If they could fly higher and transmit high-altitude images back, they wouldn't have wandered around Time Square for so long.

The soldiers went to clean up the remaining monsters, while the senior members of the coalition gathered around the coffin, which was well protected by the male magician even in the event of an explosion. If there was any extra gain from this battle, it was probably this coffin.

But how to open it? Several people poked at the coffin and found that it seemed to be locked by something. No matter how hard they pushed, the lid would not budge.

Princess Isabella stopped the others from violently destroying the coffin and suggested digging a pit to bury it. Since the person was already lying in the coffin, they should let him rest in peace. They were all decent people, not tomb robbers, so destroying his coffin was no big deal.

Besides, they were just passing through this place. Even if there was treasure in the coffin, could she, the Third Princess of the Delos Empire, still be short of money? Lifting the lid of someone's coffin for that little bit of possible wealth was such an immoral thing that Princess Isabella simply couldn't do.

Even the leader had spoken, so no matter how curious everyone was about what was inside the coffin, they had no choice but to give up. The magicians quickly dug a pit and placed the coffin inside. Then, people from all sides simultaneously swung their shovels, covering the coffin with the surrounding soil. In a short while, a small mound sat firmly on top of the coffin.

After burying the coffin, Princess Isabella directed her men to begin moving supplies and relocating the camp from the Orc Canyon to this location. They were facing three hundred thousand Orcs in the Orc Canyon, and while they weren't afraid, the overwhelming numerical disparity still made the coalition feel insecure. Now that they had a new campsite, they naturally had to keep their distance from the local tyrants in the Orc Canyon.

The same was true of the Orcs' Canyon. Although the Orcs far outnumbered the coalition forces, their combat effectiveness was unequal, comparable to the gap between ordinary civilians and professional soldiers. If a conflict truly arose, the Orcs would likely be the losers. Now that the coalition forces were leaving, Norni, upon hearing the news, rushed over excitedly.

Norni had originally intended to offer a formal farewell to the coalition forces, but since Princess Isabella hadn't even shown up, she didn't engage with the soldiers. She simply stood at a distance, watching them work like diligent worker ants, deftly dismantling the tents and loading the supplies onto the trucks. Before long, the entire camp was dismantled and transported to the subway by the soldiers.

The steel rails in the subway were ready-made, and the craftsmen and mechanics of the coalition worked together to build a large electric flatbed car that could run on the rails. By ferrying back and forth, the coalition's supplies were transported from the Orc Canyon to the subway entrance on the other side of the ruined town.

With this, the coalition forces left the Orc Canyon area. As for what they encountered next, it had nothing to do with Lin Zhenxi.

Well, let’s not talk about them, let’s turn our attention back to our real protagonist.

Over the past few days, Lin Zhenxi has built a large-scale underground cultivation garden for demonic flowers. Using time magic and plant magic, she can compress the growth cycle of demonic flowers from months to an hour, or even minutes. Through multiple rounds of screening, iteration, and targeted mutation, Lin Zhenxi has reduced the thorns on the demonic flowers to small and soft, while the fruits have become large and plump.

Although these fruits still taste dry and do not have much nutrition, at least they have sufficient carbohydrate content and can definitely fill your stomach.

It can basically be thought of as potatoes growing on vines√

After many rounds of cultivation, Lin Zhenxi was sure that these seeds could stably express their characteristics, and basically there would be no invisible or semi-dominant expression. Only then did he finally finalize these demon flower seeds and decide to hand them over to Noelni to fulfill his original promise.
